Hi Joanne

What a great challenge to throw out to us! I love glazes with such
concrete descriptions.

In testing my macrocrystalline glazes I found that adding 5% silicon
carbide yields a bubbly, foamy look. With 1% iron, I had a campfire
marshmallow test tile, big and puffy- beofre it falls off your stick. I
believe what I had stumbled on is a step in making crater glazes.

So, maybe run a test series adding 2%-7% silicon carbide to your favorite
clear.


Good Luck

Hi Joanne,
Also what I learned from Ababi,
Take your favorite glaze and add 10,20,30% up to 50% Magnesium oxide.
I found with the 30% plus, the glazes got bubbly and crawled, not too much
balled.

In the archives look up
Crawl and Ball glazes. There are several types there. Otherwise, write to
me off list, and I will
send you the recipes I have tested for that texture.

Best regards,
